The Hill Affair.

1t is now positively known that Geo.
w. Hill is alive. having been seen Mon
day of last week in New Orleans by Mrs.
Fellows nee Angie Woodard, a lady who
knows him intimately. Mr.. Hill acted
quite self-possessed SO much so, as not to
arouse the suspicion of Mrs. F. that
everything was not all right Mrs. F.
writing to her father, D. j. Woodland, at
Appleton, spoke incidentally of meeting
Hill. Mr.. W. knowing of the sudden
disappearance of Hill, sent word here,
and Mrs F. was telegraphed to Saturday
for particulars. She answered back by
telegram that she met Mr.. Hill on the
street and as a reason for his presence in
New Orleans, he said that Woodard &
Stones bakery being shut down for a
week or so, and his wife having gone to
visit her parents at Minneapolis, he con-
cluded to spend his vacation by taking
a trip south. Mrs. F. saw him only this
time. The report in circulation that Mr.
Hills furniture was mortgaged seems to
lack proof up to this time, there being no
mortgages against the properly on file in
the city clerks Office, which would be The
case, undoubtedly, if mortgages had been
obtained, and besides, the property has
been removed without any attachments
being issued
Iu note to us, Mrs. Hill says that
one of the charges published in The
Gazette last week, although as she knows
not intending to be unjust, places her
husband in a false light, and she feels it
due him not to let it pass without an ex-
PLANTATION. The day he left, she asked
him if he wanted more money. He re-
piled he did not, but she insisted and
gave him her last $500, which he took
much against his will. Mrs. Hill saws
she was always provided with plenty of
money, and her husband was not aware it
was the last she had.

Sewerage and Typhoid Fever.


The Baltimore AmericdH some time
ago questioned the value of "A system of
sewerage in promoting the health of a
city, and cited, in justification of its
doubt, the ease of Baltimore. a healthy
city without system, as opposed to
Brooklyn and Boston. where the system
of sewerage are extensive, and yet diph-
iberia and scarlet fever and other like
diseases are more prevalent than in Bal
timore. The London Sanitary World
answers these doubts by citations from
the report of Mr. Edwin F. Smith to the
Michigan Sanitary Convention, on The
Influence of Sewerage and Water Sup
ply on the Death Rate in Cities" This
paper shows. almost decisively, that the
Introduction of sewerage and water sup
ply Jointly has had marked influence
in reducing the mortality from typhoid
fever, at least. The difficult point is to
ascertain the influence of the sewerage
alone. The introduction of a pure wa
ter supply is unquestiOnably an impOr-
tant element in producing this result.
But whether the chance of air pollution
Is greater from sewers or from cesspOOlS
is not SO easy to determine. There are a
few records, however. which will help
to clear this point. In Berlin's the distri-
button of cases of fever has been found
to be one to each 9.3 unSewered, one to
each 49.3 severed houses. In Dantzic
the mortality from typhoid fever dropped
to less than one-fourth the old rate after
the introduction of the sewers in 1872
and has been still lower during the last
five years. In Cincinnati the water sup
ply Is abundant, but the sewerage is i'm
perfect and the death rate from typhoid
is increasing. The city of Mexico en-
joys a water supply of forty-four gallons
day to each person, but there are no
sewers and the fever mortality is very
high.

New Railway Building.

Hn1iaucipnfd
The laying of upwards of thousand
miles of new railway track during the
three winter months of the present year
has already been referred to as unpre-
cedented in the history of railway build
ing in this country and indicative of
great boom in that particular industry.
The Chicago Journal Of Commerce pub
fishes a statement corrobOrative of this
view. in which it is claimed that the new
track to be laid in 1887 will aggregate
81 .437 miles, or nearly twice the amount
ever laid in any former year. In addition
il is stated that Is, SJ4 miles of old track
will be relaid with new steel rails, the
old rails being worn out and useless
If this estimate is a reliable one it does
not require prophet to predict the great
est business boom the country ever saw.
The greatest number of miles of new rail-
way ever built in this country in any one
year was i'm 1899, when II $50 miles were
added to the railroad mileage. Every
one remembers that 1882 was a remark
ably busy year. If that exceptionally
large amount of new railway mileage is
to be nearly doubled this year and an
equal amount of old track is to be relaid
il is easy to see that the rail making ca
pacity of the country is to be strained to
its utmost limit. When the iron and
steel industries of the country are run to
their utmost capacity all other Industries
must of necessity sympathize, making
the outlook for the greatest business
year the country has ever known unus-
ually bright.
There are contingencies, however. that
are to be taken into account which are
likely to reduce this estimate very ma
terially. The new Interstate Commerce
law is one of these. Railway corpora
tions are not vet sure whether railway
interests under the rigid restriction of
this act are going To be as prosperous as
formerly. This will he likely to cause
hesitation in some quarters where 9th
erwise new railway enterprises would
be pushed for all they were worth. 1t
viii likewise take a big pile of money to
build upwards of twenty thousand miles
of new road and relay nearly as much
more. Not less than $500 900 900 will
be required to- accomplish it, and in view
of the large Investments in real estate
and mining and manufacturing enter
prises that are now being made, it will
be- easier to want that large sum than to
get it in one year.
But assuming that the calculations of
the Chicago Journal Of Commerce have
for various reasons to lie divided by two
or i'm other words that the work suggest
ell in its statement takes two years in
stead of one, the foundation for I'M
usually prosperous year will still remain.
From any point of view the outlook for
unusual business activity for the present
and probably for the ensuing year is first
class.
